This book is certainly not for women only! It will be useful to anyone interested in creating an exciting and successful environment for undergraduate research. In this collection of articles there are descriptions of successful summer mathematics programs for undergraduates that have encouraged students, and in particular women, to pursue and complete graduate study in mathematics.
The book grew out of a 1994 conference in Berkeley, "Women in Mathematics: Scaling the Heights and Beyond." It is divided into three sections that can be read separately or in any order and each of which is worth the price of the book. The sections are:
Let's take them in reverse order. Model Programs gives overviews of seven successful summer programs for undergraduates. The Spelman-Bryn Mawr Mathematics Program, the Mills College Summer Mathematics Institute (SMI), the Summer Program for Women in Mathematics (SPWM) at George Washington University, and Carlton and St. Olaf College's Summer Mathematics Program are for women only. The University of Michigan REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) Program in Mathematics, the Mount Holyoke Summer Research Institute, and the Director's Summer Program at the National Security Agency (NSA) are for both men and women.
Included in the descriptions is almost everything you would want to know about running a summer undergraduate research program. Most articles start with the program goals and end with the program's impact on its participants. They address all manner of questions such as: What was the target student audience? How were the participants chosen? Who were the faculty, assistants and other mentors? How was the program organized? What were the daily and weekly schedules for students? What were the values and problems of having a diverse mix of students? What social activities, field trips, guest lectures were included? What resources were needed? What were issues about funding? What was the impact on the faculty and graduate student assistants?
The core of the programs will be of much interest to the mathematicians who read the book: What mathematics was addressed and how was it presented? What were the most workable teaching and learning techniques used? How were students led into research? How flexible does a program need to be? What adjustments were implemented during the program?
The article on the Mount Holyoke Summer Research Institute also includes brief descriptions of projects in five areas: Effective Methods in Analytic Geometry, Singular Viscous Fingering, Local Zeta Functions, Critical Points of Real Polynomials, and Topics in Comparative Number Theory. It lists references to both published and unpublished papers resulting from these projects.
The results of these exemplary programs are quite impressive. For some programs we are given data on the number of students continuing to graduate studies, the number that have completed degrees, and the number employed in the mathematical sciences. Quotations from student evaluations are inspirational and let us all know that these programs do make a difference.
The only disappointment in this section is the brevity of the offering from the NSA. While it is understandable that there are security restrictions regarding the nature of the mathematics involved, the only information given is a few broad goals and how a student may apply to the NSA program. I am sure that the NSA has also had its successes, its failures, and its issues especially regarding women undergraduates in its program. It would seem that it would be possible to share some of these without breaching national security.
The Course Designs section of the book consists of seven detailed descriptions of field tested courses used in undergraduate research programs. Most include a description of the institute or the environment in which the course was used, the mathematical background needed by the students, an outline of the material presented and studied, lists of exercises, descriptions of interactions of students with the material and others, and references. Most of the course designs are in sufficient detail to be emulated by a faculty member in the field.
Here is a list of the courses that are described:
Probability and Stochastic Processes | Ani Adhikari and Deborah Nolan |
Hyperplane Arrangements | Helene Barcelo |
Algebra Seminar Taught by a Number Theorist | Antonia Bluher |
A Seminar on Linear Optimization | Lynne M. Butler |
What are Numbers? | Svetlana Katok |
Algebraic Coding Theory | Vera Pless |
Quadratic Reciprocity and Continued Fractions | Lynne Walling |
All courses in this section of the book have been offered at the Mills Summer Mathematics Institute. Some have also been used with coed groups.
There is value here for anyone conducting undergraduate research or designing a research program for undergraduates, whether or not the mathematics is on these topics and whether or not the participants are all women. There are wonderful examples of how to build student confidence by group work, how to design easier exercises leading up to open and/or challenging problems, and how students can benefit from writing and oral presentations. The authors are very honest about what worked and what didn't work. Reading this may not prevent all the pitfalls, but it may let the reader avoid some and know that others are to be expected.
To end at the beginning, in the section On Women in Mathematics, the first three articles, by Lenore Blum, Deborah Tepper Haimo, and Carol Wood, should be of interest to all faculty who teach undergraduate mathematics majors. Blum gives an 20 year perspective of the efforts to obtain equity for women in mathematics. She also explains the current need for programs for talented women, such as those described later in the book. Haimo makes the case that "changing the culture" in mathematics communities will promote excellence in mathematics "based on a broader and more representative population." Wood lists accomplishments of the AWM and gives an important proposal for the future that addresses the critical point where women enter graduate study.
This section concludes with results compiled from a quantitative survey of math majors at the University of California at Berkeley and applications for the Mills Summer Mathematics Institute. The students "express thoughts on their major, their academic performance and their future plans in mathematics. The gender differences are striking."
All three sections of this book are must reading for anyone interested in starting or improving undergraduate research programs as well as anyone committed to equity in the mathematics community for women and other underrepresented groups.

This is a rich, country-style venison sausage where the dominant spice is ground bay leaves and garlic. These are especially good for grilling, as bay seems to go well with the flavors that come with cooking over an open fire.
If you are unfamiliar with making fresh sausages, I wrote a basic tutorial on my friend Elise's site here.
Makes about 4 pounds
- 3 pounds venison, lamb or beef
- 1 pound pork fat
- 33 grams salt (about 2 tablespoons)
- 4 grams Instacure No. 1 (optional)
- About 10 bay leaves, ground to a powder
- 25 grams minced fresh garlic (about 2 tablespoons)
- 10 grams ground black pepper (about 2 teaspoons)
- 3 grams celery seeds (about 1/2 teaspoon)
- 1/2 cup red wine (I used a Primitivo)
- 1/4 cup ice water
- 25 grams dry milk powder (optional)
- hog casings, about 12-15 feet
- Chop meat and fat into 1 inch chunks. (Optional expert step: Mix the salt and curing salt with just the meat, grind very coarsely — 10 mm or 12 mm plate — and refrigerate overnight. If you don't have such a large plate, cut the meat a little finer and do the same thing. This will give you a tighter bind in the finished sausage, which is especially important as this is a coarsely ground sausage.)
- Take out some hog casings and set in a bowl of warm water.
- When you are ready to grind, mix the meat and fat with all the herbs and spices. If you are using the dry milk powder, mix that in, too. I use it when I slow-smoke sausages; it helps them retain moisture and shrink less after they come out of the smoker. Make sure the meat and fat are 37°F or colder by putting the mixture in the freezer for an hour or so. Put the wine in the fridge.
- Grind through your meat grinder (you can use a food processor in a pinch, but you will not get a fine texture) using the coarse die (6 mm or 7 mm).
- Make sure your sausage is very cold, between 28°F and 32°F. When it's cold enough, take it out of the freezer and add the wine and water. Mix the sausage thoroughly either using a Kitchenaid on low for 60 to 90 seconds or with your (very clean) hands for 2 minutes. This is important to get the sausage to bind properly.
- Stuff the sausage into the casings. Twist off links by pinching the sausage down and twisting it, first in one direction, and then with the next link, the other direction. Or you could tie them off with butcher's string. Make sure you pierce the links wherever there are air pockets; I use a needle sterilized in the flames of my stovetop. Gently squeeze the links to remove all air pockets.
- Hang the sausages in a cool place for up to 4 hours (the colder it is, the longer you can hang them). If it is warm out, hang for one hour. Once they have dried a bit, put in the fridge until needed. They will keep for at least a week in the fridge. If you are freezing the sausages, wait a day before doing so. This will tighten up the sausages and help them keep their shape in the deep-freeze.

Like the General Reference Map, Topographic Maps are a summary of the landscape and show important physical (natural and man-made) features in an area. The primary difference is that they show elevation in detail.
Characteristics of topographic maps include:
- they show elevation using contour lines – in simplistic terms a contour line is a line which joins points of equal elevation above sea level
- they have an emphasis on showing human settlement (roads, cities, buildings etc), but may include some thematic information such as vegetation or the boundaries of national parks
- they are typically produced by government agencies – these are often specialist mapping agencies and may have either a civilian or defence purpose
- they have well defined standards (called Specifications) which are strictly adhered to – these vary between mapping agencies and the scale of the map
- they have very good location reference systems – including latitude and longitude, but may also have grid lines
- often have additional information such as an arrow pointing to Magnetic North as well as True North
As the WEB has an exceptionally large amount of information about Topographic Maps (more so than any other form of mapping) we shall give a very simple overview of it. See Further Reading below.
Topographic maps are usually part of a series of maps, but may be one-off/stand-alone maps.
Understanding Contours
Elevation is usually shown using contour lines. In simplistic terms a contour line is a line which joins points of equal elevation. Where these lines are above sea level they are simply called contour lines and where they are below sea level they are called bathymetric contour lines.
Contour lines can tell an informed reader many things about the shape of the land and its ruggedness. In its simplest terms, the closer contours are together the steeper the land and the further they are away from each other the flatter the land. On the Nullarbor Plain for instance, very few contour lines would be shown, but over the Snowy Mountains an enormous number of contour lines would be shown.
A word of warning: topographic maps do not show every contour line, rather they choose sample of the lines. For example every 20, 50, 200 metres – depending on the scale of the map. This is called the contour interval of the map. As a result of this selection process, the difference in density of the contour lines is only indicating relative changes in the shape of the landscape – on that map!
The reading of topographic maps and how to interpret contour lines, is a much written about topic. Please refer to the Further Reading hyperlinks to learn more about contours and understanding what they mean.
A bit of history: Contours were developed in the 19th century (1800s). Prior to this, various systems of drawing the relief had been experimented with, including a system called hachuring. These systems have largely disappeared from modern map making, but they are intriguing to read about. This site from the University of Portsmouth has a very interesting historic summary of the changes over the years: http://www.geog.port.ac.uk/webmap/hantscat/html/ftr_hil.htm

Topographic Maps as a Summary of the Landscape – an Example
A 'Potted' Geography of Australia using Topographic Maps
Four maps have been selected across Australia to illustrate the vast range of information which can be contained in a topographic map. These maps are all part of a series of maps which cover the whole of Australia and they have been produced using the same specification – ie any difference in appearance of the map is the result of a difference in the landscape.
Explaining Some Jargon – Topographic Map Numbering Systems
For series maps, particularly topographic series maps, a variety of map conventions have been developed. One which can be confusing is the different map numbering systems.
In series maps it is essential that individual maps should be easily and uniquely identifiable. Map name alone is not sufficient to easily identify and locate an individual map. This is especially a problem where there are a large number of maps in a topographic map series. For example in Australia there are:
- 513 individual 1:250,000 scale topographic maps, and
- 3,066 individual 1:100,000 scale topographic maps
This problem was partly solved by the development of a numbering system for the International Map of the World (IMW). This system hinged on two features:
- a well defined, regular smaller scale grid was developed for the whole Earth's surface
- larger scale maps were 'nested' inside this grid
It was agreed that the smaller scale grid should be for 1:1,000,000 (often called 1:1 million scale) topographic mapping. The 'nested' smaller scales were 1:250,000, 1:100,000, 1:50,000, 1:25,000 etc.
The International Map of the World and its Numbering System
In 1891 the Fifth International Geographical Congress agreed on the development of a world-wide, 1:1,000,000 (or 1:1 million) scale series of maps. This was to be called the International Map of the World (or IMW for short). The maps were to be produced using an internationally agreed, consistent specification.
For several reasons the development of the IMW maps was slow – reasons included two World Wars, the Great Depression and lack of funding in poorer countries. International interest waned and by the 1980s only 800-1000 of the proposed 2500 maps were completed. The project was abandoned by the mid-1980s. The Australian component of the IMW was 49 maps. Work on these began in 1926 and was completed in 1978.
The enduring legacy of the IMW map series is its map numbering conventions. The regular grid it developed consisted of:
- 4° wide latitudinal zones for the whole earth numbered A to O, away from the Equator; and with the letter N or S (to identify either the Northern and Southern Hemispheres).
- 6° wide longitudinal zones were for areas between the latitudes 60° numbered 1 to 60, East to West starting at the 180°
- 12° or 24° wide longitudinal zones between the latitudes 60° and 90°
Using this method a regular grid was created, and each had a unique number. For example, in the case of Sydney, Australia, its IMW grid cell (variably called an IMW zone, IMW map zone or IMW map) would be identified as:
- S – for the Southern Hemisphere
- J – for the latitudinal zone it belongs to
- 56 – for the longitudinal zone it belongs to
Add the three together and Sydney, Australia is found in the IMW zone of SJ56. This numbering systems allows a map user to locate a map anywhere on the surface of the Earth – using only the number as a guide.
In addition to this, each IMW map zone is uniquely named. In the case of the Sydney, Australia example the map sheet is SJ56, Sydney. Where the extents of a map are different to the standard IMW zones (to totally cover a city) the word 'Special' is added to the map name.
Numbering 1:250,000 Scale Topographic Maps
The next step in the numbering system is easy – based on convention, there are 12 individual 1:250,000 scale maps in an IMW zone. These are each numbered 1–12 in a regular pattern. This is added to the IMW zone number and another unique number is created. In the case of the Sydney, Australia example above, the IMW map sheet is SJ56 and the 1:250,000 scale map called Sydney the 5th map in the zone – ie the Sydney 1:250,000 scale map is numbered SJ56-5.
Numbering Other Scale Topographic Maps
Similar principles of a unique numbering system which had been developed for the 1:250,000 scale series topographic maps were also developed for the 1:100,000, 1:50:000, 1:25,000 scale series topographic maps.
The 1:100,000 scale topographic maps were nested within the IMW system. There are six 1:100,000 scale maps contained within a 1:250,000 scale map.
In this case the system involved:
- using a two digit number which is sequentially given to each 1:100,000 scale map West-to-East
- using a two digit number which is sequentially given to each 1:100,000 scale map South-to-North
This results in a unique 4-digit number for every 1:100,000 map within the system.
As with the 1:250,000 scale maps having a number based on the number of IMW zone they are in; so to do the 1:50:000 and 1:25,000 maps. They have a sequential number added to the number of the 1:100,000 map they occur in.

Los Chalchaleros
The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline. (September 2014) |
This article needs additional citations for verification. (August 2014) |
Los Chalchaleros were an Argentinian musical folkloric ensemble consisting of four men. The group was established in 1948 in the northern province of Salta. It was named after a local song-bird, the chalchalero. They left the stages and recording in 2003.
The original group was formed by Victor José Zambrano ("Cocho"), Carlos Franco Sosa, Aldo Saravia, and Juan Carlos Saravia. They gave their first public concert on June 16, 1948. The group is currently formed by Juan Carlos Saravia, Eduardo Román ("Polo"), Ricardo Francisco Figueroa ("Pancho"), and Facundo Saravia. Other components during the group's history include José Antonio Saravia Toledo, Ricardo Federico Dávalos ("Dicky"), and Ernesto Cabeza.
Los Chalchaleros have published close to 50 records, typically focusing in traditional Argentinian folk music: zamba, cueca, chacarera, gato, and chamamé.
A rodent species discovered in La Rioja Province, Argentina, Salinoctomys loschalchalerosorum (the Chalchalero viscacha rat), from the family Octodontidae, was named after the group. The researcher in charge of the naming (Michael A. Mares from the University of Oklahoma at Norma), states that he named the new species after Los Chalchaleros because his crews had sung their songs during thirty years of field research across Argentina.[1]

Perhaps you've heard that business cards are going out of style. Indeed, LA Times writer Matt Stevens wrote an article about how business cards are "irrelevant, wasteful—and just plain lame." With the decline of interest in business cards, printers are feeling the loss. IBISWorld Inc. found that printers reported $211.1 million in sales in the business card segment, a 13% drop from 2006. Business cards have fallen on hard times in a digital world that values electronic connectivity over old-fashioned personal contact.
And yet—Stevens' gloomy article notwithstanding—business cards still retain their importance in international business, conferences, and, believe it or not, our digitized world.
In Asia, business cards have a strong cultural and ritualistic importance, as well as a strict etiquette. They are more than a contact exchange; cards serve as a first impression. If you're dealing with overseas clients at all, especially in Asia, you should have a proper business card.
In the Western world, people are getting creative with their business cards. From paper to ink, textures to graphics, business cards are evolving into something much cooler than contact information.
Cards and social media accounts (such as LinkedIn, About.me, Twitter, and Facebook) are often said to perform the same function: turning meetings into business connections. But a professional can benefit in different ways from both networking tools.
History Repeats Itself—Business Cards Reconnecting with Their Social Roots
Business cards have been around for a while: first as visitor announcements, then as mini-advertisements, or trade cards, and now as contact information carriers. At the peak of their popularity in the 1890s, trade cards were a collectable, premium advertising for businesses; they attracted attention because they had something that magazines didn't: color.
Vintage-inspired Business Card via agbeat.com
As the adage goes: history repeats itself. Business cards have fallen behind mobile technology as the most efficient way to exchange contact information; however, they can provide benefits no online profile—no matter how fancy—can hope to match. They've become an outlet for personality and an alternative kind of marketing. Some of the business cards of today will floor you with their creativity; a card that is restricted solely to contact information should be burned for misuse.
Unlike a social media profile like LinkedIn, a business card is a tangible reminder in a digital world. Notifications get lost in new interactions. Emails end up in spam boxes. But a card, which someone will invariably study at least twice, can at least serve as a reminder before being thrown away. And if the card has the right style and information, it leads to further interaction.
Think back to the last business card you were handed. What did you notice about it first? What do you remember most about it? A QR code, perhaps? Shoddy design? Quality of the paper? A humorous blurb? Maybe it folded into something related to their business?
The sky's the limit with what you can do with a business card. And it will leave a lasting impression about your personality, what you do, and how you do it.
Social Media in Business Networking
via The New York Times
Social networks are the great gauge of our time—they analyze what people are talking about and sharing; they connect us on a personal level.
Tons of platforms exist solely to build your image. Whether you're job seeking or looking to connect, there's nothing like a great online presence for a potential employer or contact to find and explore. No one will argue that. But there are some things technology can't do.
We're in a generational shift, where people who grew up with the power of business cards and people who grew up with mobile technology share the workplace. LinkedIn is a great place to forge connections, but a great many connections start at conferences or in the everyday world.
For those who dread the thought having to enter a contact's info manually, apps like ScanBizCards and CardMunch digitize business card contact information.
Don't be Afraid to Mix Eras
Times are blurring. Some people still read newspapers, others get news tweets on their phone. Another might more readily pick up a Kindle instead of a book. It varies by person, age, and personality. In the business world, you're bound to at least meet one person who prefers a business card to a LinkedIn request (and vice versa).
Business cards and social technology shouldn't be individual networking techniques—their natures complement each other. Using both keeps your options open with whomever you meet.

When I Close My Eyes
Four years ago, Californian Ann Dyer knocked traditional views of pop-jazz singing on their ear with Revolver: A New Spin, her bracingly experimental revitalization of the Beatles classic. Now the outre stylist with the serene sound is back with the more challenging When I Close My Eyes (Sunnyside), an otherworldly assemblage of themes and metaphoric images that range from nakedly sensual to obtusely disquieting. The poetry (so mundane a term as "lyrics" simply doesn't apply here)-some borrowed from such disparate sources as Emily Dickinson and Bjork, but mostly Dyer's own-suggests an underwater grotto matted with waving seaweed and illuminated by dust-filtered rays. She draws soft, shimmering word pictures, each more challenging than the last, and wraps them in dreamy gauze. It's all tremendously accomplished and admirably daring, yet it veers dangerously close to becoming the jazz equivalent of one of those faux wave machines designed to help lull you to sleep.

Yes they do, we still hire EMT's/Medics thru the EMS Division. But, the last time I checked EMT starting pay was pretty crappy.Quote:
Does Stlfd hire EMT's (not wishing to become firefighters)?
It's good to hear some of the new guidelines on the test. It used to be nearly impossible to get hired without transferring to the FD from a different city department.
ya, know if we could only get residency lifted, we would be doing great!

Smooth Hip-Hop Songs
Haven't been on here in a while but I'm looking for some really chill/smooth hip hop songs to listen to while I ride.
Here's some examples of the stuff I listen to: Sergio Mendes - Yes Yes Y'all Classified - Quit While You're Ahead Wax - Two Wheels Atmosphere - Puppets Macklemore - Wings LMFAO - YES Wale - Mama Told Me Mac Miller - I'll Be There (I know it's about his mom but it's still pretty sick) I put a bunch in case someone else is looking for the same type of stuff I like to throw in some slow dubstep tracks but I don't have many. I like them like: Skrillex - In for the Kill Skrillex - Cinema |
Try most of Nas' earlier albums ... Illmatic and Stillmatic ... it might be blasphemy but my personal favorite is It Was Written. God's Son was also good.
While King, Paper Trail and No Mercy are his best albums, Trap Muzik by TI is also very thick, funky and Southern. Not the club banger type rap which is good to get pumped up, this is what I blast when I'm on the cruise. It just keeps you chilled and focus. |
Commons BE(Basement Evolution) is a really smooth chill album
Yeeee!! This is some sick stuff!
not exactly sure if this is what you'll like but here's a few off the top of my head
MOD SUN - Hang Loose - Video - YouTube Hoodie Allen - Words of Wisdom (feat. Two Door Cinema Club) - YouTube KiD CuDi - Man On The Moon [HIGH QUALITY] - YouTube Lupe Fiasco - Hip Hop Saved My Life HQ - YouTube 90210 - Wale - YouTube Andre Nickatina Killa Whale - YouTube Chiddy Bang - High As The Ceiling Ft. eLDee The Don (Track #9 Off Peanut Butter & Swelly) - YouTube |
guru - jazzmataz series
gangstarr tribe called quest de la soul fugees - the score devin the dude pharcyde old snoop |
immortal technique has got some pretty laid back tracks that he just kills it.
Patience - Nas feat. Damian "Jr. GOng" Marley
Slow Motion - Juvenile |

Good question.
Physically speaking ; Cotto looked a lot more damaged after the Mararito fight, than he did last night against Manny. So much so that he didn't even give a post fight interview, if memory serves correct they had to chase him to his locker room to get the interview. But you also gotta note ; Margarito was really only beating Cotto down for 6 rounds or so, Cotto dominated that fight early. Whereas Pacquiao pretty much dominated him from round 2 through 12. A simple matter of opinion, I suppose. But my money is on Margarito beating him down more physically, and manny having more of a mental effect on him ; it's gotta be hard to get your ass beat that bad by the "smaller fighter". |

The advisor/advisee relationship varies greatly from group to group. Therefore, it is important to meet with the student leadership from your organization to best determine the expectations that you have for the group and that they have for you as an advisor. It is recommended that you meet regularly with executive officers to keep well informed. Other strategies for advising success include:
• Be familiar with the group's mission and goals
• Work with executive board members to set new goals as a group each year
• Regularly attend organization meetings
• Attend major events put on by the organization
• Be knowledgeable of campus policies and review them with student leaders each year
• Ensure that organizational decisions do not violate any campus policies or the group's constitution
• Make sure that waivers are completed for trips off-campus or any activities which may pose a physical risk to students (available in the SAIL Office)
• Sign paperwork necessary for table reservations or fundraising activities
• Meet with the organization's treasurer to help establish and maintain a realistic budget

Am I Being Unreasonable...?
(33 Posts)We are a two female household - self and teenage DD. I also have a lodger. AIBU in wanting my new - male - lodger to put the toilet seat down after he's used the loo?
I would like to be able to broach the subject with my new lodger in a way that doesn't cause offence, but has the desired result.
In most other respects I'm a laid back landlady, but this is a bit of a deal-breaker for me and it would be a pity if I had to ask him to leave because of this. Any ideas please?
Just tell him. Nice guys do put the seat down, but always need reminding.
If you are a laid back LL & he likes living with you he shouldn't feel that it is an unreasonabble request.
Thanks magimedi - I'm glad you agree that 'nice guys do...' I'd rather not be constantly nagging reminding though!
Maybe make a bit of a joke of it & leave a silly reminder type notice in the loo?
And maybe put this in Chat or AIBU (if you dare ...) to get more replies?
I wanted a bloke's perspective on it (I assume you're a bloke magi, what with hanging out on dadsnet n'all...)
Oh, no, sorry, twofingers I am deffo NOT a bloke!
Posted to early _ I was just doing a posting to unreplied threads thingy.
sorry magi!
Any blokes on here that might answer..?
I've never understood this.. why should the man put it down? Why don't men complain that women always leave it down?
If I go to the toilet and the seat is up, I put it down, use it and leave it down. Then the man has to lift it to use it. Why should he have to lift it and put it back down? Is it just old fashioned chivalry?
Well what's the point of toilets having lids then? It's more hygienic to flush with the lid down.
But OP isn't talking about the lid - she's talking about the seat
Sorry, what I meant was it is good hygiene practise to lush with the lid down o. It's logically going to put the seat down too.
Rather than it being an act of chivalry
I'm talking about the whole thing: seat, lid, etc. for reasons of hygiene and courtesy.
I've never understood this.. why should the man put it down? Why don't men complain that women always leave it down?
Down is obviously the default position. In bathroom shops/catalogues/estate agent brochures toilets tend not to be displayed seat up.
I guess I just believe in tidying up after yourself, ie. check for any drips, clean if necessary, seat and lid down, wash hands to avoid spread of germs, replace towel tidily and leave bathroom. Sorry, that makes me sound far from 'laid back', but I promise I am! I just think it's good manners and hygiene - nothing to do with 'chivalry' FFS - that should be used at home, work, wherever...
My DP does it all the time and it doesnt bother me in the slightest, it takes less time to put the thing down and wash your hands after using the toilet than it does moaning and gettting your mardy cardy on about it :D
Ah.. Possibly the fact my house never looks like a bathroom shop/catalogue/estate agent brochure will explain why I don't give two hoots about the lid being up or down
I don't know how much I believe in the 'germs flying everywhere' if the lid is up when you flush. Plus I'm of the mindset that a bit of germ intake is good for your immune system. Toilets in bars often don't have lids. And those are strangers germs
Anyway, that's a whole other argument - you said seat in your OP so I assumed you meant seat, not lid.
Personally I'm a fan of having an "Emperor's piss". You get to sit on the throne
Makes it easier to MN too.
I'm a bloke OP.
Just ask him politely and let him know that it's important to you. If he won't do so after you've asked him then get another lodger.
You know what's important to you so stick to your guns if that's the case.
Good luck
Thanks Chaps, I like the thought of an emperor's piss.
I'm really grateful for your input.
Maybe I'll include it as an 'interview question' in future!
I am used to the toilet seat being put down after use by my DF (rest of family 3 women).
I am also used to seat left up sometimes by DP.
What I can't stand is drips of wee left on the seat by DSS (age 16), every time he uses the loo.
I have spoken to him, DP has spoken to him and explained that while he is aiming, I will be sitting, he is apparently incapable of lifting the seat. And, on a wood floor, why the f do I have to wash a piss mat every week?
Germs!!! Splashing all over the loo!! Ugh.
This would have been a deal breaker for me.
YA definitely NBU.
*Warning - I am going to blunt/straight-talking*
I love the fact we have a name for blokes sitting down to pee (emporer piss!). I have adopted the position for the last few years after taking up various carpets in bathrooms over the years with the telltale dribble soaks at the front.
As most who clean loos know - some men - and especially boys have signifcant aiming problems - and than add tiredness (that middle of the night trip for those of us past 40) and/or a little alchohol and it can all get a bit messy.
Cleaning your own loo and getting rid of stinky carpets/flooring in bathrooms is a great way of understanding the splatter pattern better.
Now we have tow boys 4 and 6 - we prob should be teaching them the stand up wee so they fit in - however the sit down wee will be suggested as the default position.
Further bluntness ahead - apologies but it may help the general understanding here
Problem here lies in the fact that small bozs don't always remeber to hold it down whilst they wee and as their little bodies develop they start to (struggling now to be polite but straight-talking) have a stiffness problem whilst wee-ing. This results in an underseat hit and further dribbling down the front of the bowl - aaarghhhh! SO almost an argument for a stand up wee there......but the same directional problem occurs if they are standing!!
A little off topic I know - but nowt is a simple as it seems. I love the idea that a toilet has a default position of seat down, lid down......must have missed that in the manual when I fitted all of ours!! And have you ever really checked for a spatter pattern when you flush - easy if you put a light behind the loo or some paper round the base - I think you will find there isn't one (or you have a badly designed toilet) so lids are really superfluous.
SO - down or up - not a problem in our house as it is never up - but to be honest I think it is a bit of a losing argument to suggest it is "normal" either way - and a bit over the top. Certainly as a lodger requirement I would think it is a "nice to have" (if you think it matters).
Well, in addition to the splatter while peeing, wouldn't the loo be absolutely inundated with germs if flushing with the lid down? Which, if toothbrushes are out (or razors, soap etc) makes it all a cocktail of germs.
Sorry with the lid * up*
I suspect that there is a lttle over the top reaction going on here to GERMS (oh no - run away - GERMS - seems to be a typical late 20C reaction).
I remember a myth going around about more fecal matter floating in the air in the loo. Mythbusters did some testing of a toothbrush left out in a well used loo and found no difference when compared with one left out in any room. There are airborne germs everywhere - however lets not over-react here. Clean the loo when you think it needs it (but don't bother with a face mask and biohazard suit.....)

Read what other Viator.com travelers think about the Doubtful Sound Wilderness Cruise from Te Anau. What they loved, what they liked and what they think could be improved, it's all here to help you make the most of your next trip.
Click here for tour details, schedule and pricing
Breathtaking scenery, value for money.
Excellent trip - well the money. The organisation was great and loved the scenery.
It had been snowing through the night, before we went to Doubtful Sound. At first we could hardly see anything, and were very disappointed. however, as the day progressed, the sun came out, and revealed a wonderland of snow-capped mountains. It looked just like a Christmas card, so beautiful. We saw dolphins, fur seals, and even an albatross! I don't think anyone on board the boat went away downcast. It was truly an exceptional day@@
It snowed in the morning but was sunny in the afternoon (end of May), so the scenery was quite spectacular. Cold and fairly expensive, but definitely worthwhile.
Paul J
Doubtful Sound tour is amazing. The captain of the boat while we were on the Doubtful Sound was very considerate of passengers and actively looked at making it a truly remarkable experience. This was done by slowing down for us to see dolphins and seals. Excellent tour company!
Cassandra T
My husband and I loved this trip. Were lucky enough to have beautiful weather. Doesn't get much better than sitting on the deck in the sun watching a pod of dolphins play. Magical.
Well run tour with excellent service. Would definitely recommend it. A MUST DO for your New Zealand itinerary.
Unique, only one of its type, wonderful unique scenery, beauty, mysterious in the mist which lingered for nearly half of trip which added to the experience, then the mist lifted and we had great vision. Long trip, full day, well worth it. Unique sights (even in comparison with Milford which we also did.) Stopping boat near shore to hear birds and nature sounds was special, magical, another totally unique, excellent onboard commentary from specialist authority, great bus drivers across the land bit with good sense of humour and sayings.
Beautiful! If you get a chance to do this...DO IT! We were the only boat in this surreal place. The weather cooperated and they took us out into the Tasman. People on our trip had also been to Millford Sound, and told us not to bother with Millford because it was so commercialize-DOUBTFUL-A MUST DO!
One of the most beautiful spots in the world!
It rained and rained and rained all day long, but what a fantastic day we had - the guide that collected us from the motel was full of local information. The Young female driver of our bus was great, her driving skills were commendable, especially after it rained all day. The cruise was fantastic.
Doubtful Sound was profoundly beautiful and remote. The boat ride was one of the most unique experiencces I have ever had and memorable. The "Real Journeys" crew were well organized and informative. Overall an exquisite pleasure.
Wonderful experience and well planned by travel company.
Norma S
Great trip. We were well looked after by all the Kiwis who delt with us during the day, from the pick-up bus drivers to the boat crew. Dramatic landscapes and very interesting commentaries. The Kiwis are certainly an hospitable crew. Highy recommend the tour.
Carl H
Great trip. From coach to boat to coach to boat and back. Very well organized and beautiful scenery.

Manufacturer: Stubben
Model: Eidelweis
Category: Jumping Saddles
Purchase: Paid around $750 for it used. It was a few years old when I bought it.
Likes: I love this saddle. It is really comfortable, and has a much better balance than most jumping saddles I've ridden in. It has a knee flap and block, enough to keep my leg secure but not so much that it detracts from my ride. I've had this saddle for years and it has worn beautifully. It's a great quality saddle.
Dislikes: The only thing I would be sure to know about the Stubben is that the tree is narrower than a regular standard (although it is a "standard tree" size - the tree is only 29 inches compared to Crosby's 31 inch standard). As a result, I have trouble fitting it to horses who are very well muscled in their backs, although these horses do fit in other brand's standard trees. It's not really a complaint, it's just something to be aware of when buying a Stubben.
Quality: This saddle is of excellent quality. The leather is soft and supple, and cleans up really well after years of work.
Summary: This is my favorite saddle of all time.

Mumbai: The Bombay High Court judge who was handling the Purti case against former BJP president Nitin Gadkari has stepped down and refused to hear the matter anymore. The case will now be transferred to a new bench.
The CBI is probing allegations of dubious funding of Gadkari's firm, Purti Group. The Mumbai I-T wing is surveying seven companies found to have been routing money into Gadkari's Purti Group after allegations against the companies surfaced in the Nagpur wing's probe.
The Mumbai Income Tax department in its preliminary investigation report on Purti Group had said that most of the companies with registered addresses were fake addresses.

Crafts for the Holidays Challenge Day 6: Hand Print Wreath
Today's hand print wreath is an easy craft that can be a cute keepsake to hang up year after year!
Materials needed:
Optional Supplies (markers, crayons, construction paper, etc)
I traced a circle in the middle of the paper using a soup can and then my son added his hand prints around it (he had so much fun instead of doing it once around, he went around three times). Once the hand prints were dry, my son made fingerprint berries. If you don't have paint, you can trace your child's hand and let them color in their hand prints with markers or crayons.
When you do usually take down your holiday decorations? Are you anxious to take them down or do you wait a while?
If you missed yesterday's activity, you can find it here. If you haven't signed up for the Crafts for the Holidays Challenge yet, you can do so here.
Cute idea. Our holiday decorations come down around the 5th of January. I love having my house decorated. I put my decorations up the day after Thanksgiving, and they stay up until the weekend after New Years. A few years ago. our Christmas lights were frozen to our gutters, and we had to wait until the spring thaw in March, before we could take them down. That hasn't happened lately.
Cute idea. Our decorations normally come down New Year's Day.
We take it down in early January. My kids won't stick their hands in paint or anything of a similar texture, but we are thinking of getting green paper and just cutting out hand prints and gluing them in a wreath pattern for a similar effect.
the Christmas trees we've done in the past were the same way with the construction paper and you overlap the hands and make it look like the branches hanging down, then let them stamp ornaments on them (pencil erasers and potatoes work well)

new video on fixing big dents
lots of metal working tips here. Enjoy!
Sponsored Links | |||
workint the ridge.
I usually try to use a spoon, heavy putty knife, carpenters wonder bar on top of the ridge and pound on it so I dont put more dents on the finish side.
that's a thought but it turned out great, and even better than what was on the back half of the door. Completely undetectable.
Today I did the other side of the door and it was just stripping the door, welding old repair holes, and pushing out the middle about an inch but since it was 95 degrees the mudding process was a nightmare. In the video I skimmed the bottom of the door in one shot, today that section took me two to three applications just to get it close, and today was only 5-10 degrees hotter. |
I usually dont watch body work vidios and actually this is the first one I watched of yours. Its pretty good,I could use a few pointers (on the vidio) .Was that a regular camera or one made just for vidios?(I really liked the fast foward) .
That dosen't seem like too bad of a shop to work in ,plenty of nice, older cars (like the 56 chebbie),One question though,how did you know if the contour of the door matched the contour of the fender? I usually trial fit the fender about 50 times to be sure ,did you just omit that part ,concentrating on the door? its an important step that should be shown so the less experianced can know how you got the right shape..... That said you got that done pretty quick how would you like to make the whole skin yourself and not use any bondo???? Me too, if only I had that kind of talent...I'm trying though, maybe in 20 more years. BTW,theres always a place for you to work in Augusta,Ga. if you ever find yourself around here..and maybe teach an old fart how to shoot a good vidio.... I liked it.... |
Russ |
When you figure out your hours and materials fixing that door and fender wouldn't it be cheaper to get replacements.how many hours do you have into them? I would think at least 15 hrs |
Boss doesn't know crap about the trade but his pride gets into the way of ever learning about it. Just an idiot. I rather not even talk procedures with him anymore. Just too stupid. Last edited by tech69; 06-03-2012 at 01:53 PM. |
so to follow up on the Gran sport I was shocked to learn that the painter decided to only prime the parts once! I guess the boss didn't like the time he takes to mask so he gave him less hours and inturn he decides to only prime it once, without us knowing about it beforehand, of course. I feel we need to have a heads up on that sort of stuff but we came out ok on this one.
Here's the door from the video and I'm happy it's show straight with only 3 coats of primer. This door was like the one in the video. Had to fix it with a spreader and it was in about and inch in the middle like the other door. This fender is adjacent to the messed up door I fixed in the video. It was taco'd in two directions. I fixed it with two 2x4's and stomping on it. Apparently, I see a imperfection around the wheel crown, which is secondary damage from the taco'ing. Other than that it turned out great but just wish I knew the aim was to only prime it once. It looks great though...I'm just beating myself up over this. the hood came out pretty good and was messed up bad but I'd never just prime an old school hood just once, but that's just my opinion. |
64 Skylark with a 65 Gran Sport glove box door. It is a damn good video. The only thing I do differently would be the spreading of the filler, I go with the body lines. Of course on the top you need to go down but on the bottom it would be door long passes with the bodyline for me. But damn very nice stuff Henry.

Targeted therapies in colorectal cancer—an integrative view by PPPM

EPMA Journal 2013, 4:3 doi:10.1186/1878-5085-4-3
Published: 28 January 2013Abstract
In developed countries, colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common malignancy, but it is the second most frequent cause of cancer-related death. Clinicians are still faced with numerous challenges in the treatment of this disease, and future approaches which target the molecular features of the disorder will be critical for success in this disease setting. Genetic analyses of many solid tumours have shown that up to 100 protein-encoding genes are mutated. Within CRC, numerous genetic alterations have been identified in a number of pathways. Therefore, understanding the molecular pathology of CRC may present information on potential routes for treatment and may also provide valuable prognostic information. This will be particularly pertinent for molecularly targeted treatments, such as anti-vascular endothelial growth factor therapies and anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) monoclonal antibody therapy. KRAS and BRAF mutations have been shown to predict response to anti-EGFR therapy. As EGFR can also signal via the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) kinase pathway, there is considerable interest in the potential roles of members of this pathway (such as PI3K and PTEN) in predicting treatment response. Therefore, a combined approach of new techniques that allow identification of these biomarkers alongside interdisciplinary approaches to the treatment of advanced CRC will aid in the treatment decision-making process and may also serve to guide future therapeutic approaches.

We ascended to Camp Muir late in the day and got into our tent around 2 AM, just as the guided parties were leaving for the summit. We left for the summit around 5 AM, and after a ridiculous, miserable struggle(we were all completly out of shape at the time) we made it to the top. On the descent we had a breif whiteout, but later had a beauteful cloud deck below us. Unfortunatly I was so exhausted at the time, that I was blind to the world. I hope to climb Rainier again when I am in better physical condition, I assume it would be much more enjoyable. Mount Adams seen from low on Mount Rainier. Mount Rainier looking menacing, on the approach to Camp Muir. Mount Saint Helens visible, just above Camp Muir, at dawn. Sunrise behind Little Tahoma Peak.

Air Conditioning systems allow you to feel cool and comfortable in your Acura, even on a warm summer day. The A/C Expansion device is one of the main components which regulate the flow of refrigerant according to how cool you want it inside your vehicle. The cooler you want it the more the A/C Expansion device opens, which allows more refrigerant to flow into the A/C system. When you turn the A/C system down, the expansion device shrinks cutting off the flow of refrigerant.
